This week Cheyenne met my friend Connie Cockatoo. We studied the hard "c" sound this week. Connie was very careful about brushing her teeth and not eating much candy at all because she did not want cavities. This took some coaxing with Cheyenne as she LOVES her candy, but I think she is starting to catch on ;)

We own a felt board for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the kids have always loved playing with it! It's one of those "special" treats that only comes out once in a while. Well, this week we brought it out and Cheyenne acted out the story on her board as I read it to her. She learned that "C" is for "Caterpillar" this week.

Cheyenne also learned that "C" is for "Colors" this week and we spent some time reviewing her colors. We made this cute little caterpillar, too.

We also talked about how "C" is for "Cat" and "Cupcake". Using ideas from Totally Tots, we read If You Give a Cat a Cupcake. Cheyenne loved feeding the cat his cupcakes =)

And of course she loved making her own batch as well =0)

Cheyenne also learned about the number 5 this week, and she is pretty good at writing her 5's. "Put on a hat, then take a dive, make a big round tummy, now that's a five!" =) We also learned about squares this week.

We also worked on our Alphabet Art this week, using the idea from Our Family For His Glory, we made this cute little cat with Big "C" and little "c".

Using Big Thoughts for Little People, Cheyenne learned that "C" is for "crying" this week. She learned that it's ok to cry when she falls down, or when she gets hurt. But she learned it's important not to cry for no particular reason.

We enjoyed some beautiful fall weather this week, and so we went for a few nature walks on the trails. We also made this cute craft to celebrate fall and the changing of the leaves.
